Grande fut ma surprise lorsque, en 1989, Didier Vadrot, alors étudiant en première année au Conservatoire de Paris, joua semaine après semaine chacun de ces redoutables Caprices dans une version parfaitement conforme à l'original. Très impressionnés, les autres étudiants de la classe de saxophone mettaient leurs pas sur ce chemin ardu au cours des mois suivants. L'immense bénéfice que chacun a retiré de ce travail, sur le plan technique - grands intervalles, détachés, perfectionnement du suraigu - et musical - longs phrasés, souplesse de l'expression associée à une grande vélocité - m'a convaincu qu'il était temps de présenter ce travail à un plus large public.
Nous ne possédions pas à ce jour d'études transcendantes du niveau de celles proposées aux pianistes, violonistes, flûtistes. Après avoir travaillé les études de Mule, Loyon, Lacour, Bozza, Samyn et s'être déjà largement familiarisé avec le registre suraigu, tout saxophoniste peut se mesurer avec ce monument que Niccolo Paganini ne dédie pas aux violonistes, mais aux artistes !

As the Saxophone is commonly associated with the jazz style, classical music for the instrument had always been lacking. Therefore, when Paul Bonneau (1918-1995) composed his Two Caprices in the style of a Waltz for Alto Saxophone and Piano, it was well-received by performers of the genre. Bonneau's composition was highly versatile, ranging from over fifty film scores, operettas, songs and other pieces for Saxophone, including a concerto. The Two Caprices in the style of a Waltz, however, were particularly acclaimed for their use of advanced techniques. The works contains typically French characteristics including chromaticism and difficult technical passages. All these elements combined make for an enjoyable and challenging piece for saxophonists..

“Italian clarinetist and composer, Ernesto Cavallini (1807-1874) studied at the Milan Conservatory. He has been described as the ”“Paganini of the Clarinet”“ therefore, it is no surprise that his studies for the instrument, such as 30 Caprices are very well-informed. Volume 2 of Cavallini's 30 Caprices contains caprices 19 to 30. All of the studies are virtuosic, addressing features including chromaticism, scales, articulation, a wide range, breath control, intervals, variations in performance directions, dynamics and tempo, differing key signatures and time signatures, complex rhythms and ornamentation, amongst other aspects. For all advanced clarinetists, Cavallini's 30 Caprices are essential, ensuring technical progression to a high standard.”.
